I'm putting together a new system and I can't decide between these two cards. They only differ about $20 in cost. I would think that the 7950 is newer; therefore a better proformer but I'm not sure. I won't be getting a second card so crossfire is of no concern to me. Is the 7950 worth the extra 20 bucks or is the 7870 a better card anyway. I mostly play shooters and will be ecpecting to play BF4. What's the best choice?

I'd say it is worth it if the price is only 20 dollars apart. Especially if your not looking to add another card down the line. If you have time I'd wait till black Friday/ cyber Monday and see if you can snag a 7970 with a huge discount.As for actual performance gains. It should be notice able. Since the 7950 is based of the 7970 and it has 3gb of vram as compared to the 2gb that most 7870s have.
